Roof & Gutter Cleaning in St. Helens & Portland Metro

At least twice a year: in late fall once the leaves are down, and again in spring. Homes under Douglas fir or other conifers often need a third visit, because needles drop all year, slip through most gutter guards and pack into downspouts. Long gutter runs with only a few downspouts clog faster too. After the first visit we will tell you what your property actually needs. More on our gutter cleaning page.

No. Soft washing is the opposite of pressure washing a roof. We apply a cleaning solution at about garden-hose pressure, let it kill the moss, algae and lichen at the root, then rinse. Nothing is blasted, so the protective granules stay on your asphalt shingles, and loose moss is brushed off by hand. If a roof is past cleaning and needs replacing, we tell you before you pay for a clean. Read how soft wash roof cleaning works.

Usually not. If the crew can reach the work area and there is an outdoor tap, most roof, gutter and exterior jobs get done while you are out. We confirm the day with you ahead of time. When we finish, before-and-after photos and a short summary go to your phone, so you can see exactly what was done without being there.

Yes, and it is the best way to do it. We clean the roof first, because moss and debris that come off the shingles end up in the gutters. Then we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts. Booking both together means one visit, one written estimate and one set of photos. If you add window cleaning, the glass is done last. See roof cleaning.

Leaves, needles and grit are lifted out by hand and bagged, not blown across your yard. We flush every downspout and watch the water run through, lift gutter guards to clear underneath them, and check hangers and seams for sagging or separation. The bagged debris leaves with us, and you get photos of the finished gutters. Anything that needs repair goes in the summary, with no charge for the look.
